As mentioned in the documentation https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/projects/restore-behavior#share-between-app-user-ids-legacy. I am unable to find any configurations available on RC; dashboard. We can choose between other Transfer Options available but not the legacy one.

if I use anonymous login it provide new user without any active subscriptions.

Hello there,

 

Tarek from the support team here, happy to assist you!

 

Indeed the legacy option cannot be selected anymore.

 

However, developers usually don't need it, as the three options cover the vast majority of use cases.

 

Could you please share what you're trying to achieve? I'll happily help you find the right restore behavior for you.

 

Best regards,

I would like to restore my active subscription for users who access the app using the same device or store account that was originally used to purchase the subscription. This ensures that whomever users is logged in to my App can restore active subscription on the device / store not with the RC login user OR anonymous user.

Hey,

 

In that case, Transfer to new App User ID and Transfer if there are no active subscriptions are what you're looking for.

 

They will both allow this scenario to happen. Users will be able to restore their subscriptions even on a new RevenueCat user (anonymous or not), as long as they use the same Apple / Google account so that the SDK can pull the receipt.

 

Best regards,
